This clock is excellent, very well designed: very clear to read, easy to use and useful, providing comprehensive information about the time. The size, choice of colour, colour-banding, lettering and the structural support have been well-thought-out; and the background lighting is just right: soft and not intrusive. In terms of information, it's just what my brother needs when he's not sure of the day/time of day/the date. He remembers better where he is in time - particularly important on waking from a night's sleep/a nap/a siesta. Having the clock is restoring his confidence, giving him "a better handle” on where he is in time. You could say, though, that it's an ideal gift for anyone, actually, not just for those with dementia. In short, it's a brilliant clock! ery good range of products.
